Queso Fresco Enchiladas

Today I have an enchilada recipe that is probably not like any enchiladas you’ve had before! They’re very simple, but delicioso!

Simply put, they’re corn tortillas that have been dipped in enchilada sauce, rolled up with queso fresco and then served immediately.

If you’re familiar with Mexican entomatadas or enfrijoladas, they’re very similar except for the sauce.

Enchiladas can be so varied in their fillings and sauces. Sometimes we get stuck with just “red or green” sauce, “beef or chicken” and miss out on all the other great flavors!

The tortillas should be warmed before filling so they don’t crack. I do this by lightly frying them in oil, but you can also warm them in the microwave. Then dip in sauce and fill right away while they’re warm. No toothpick is necessary if you place them seam side down. Hope that helps!

Well I tried making this I had a package of Queso that I got free from the store but no idea what to do with it and so finally saw this recipe and tried it. I prefer spooning it into the tortillas because I tried to dip them and the sauce made them too heavy and it broke apart into pieces. Made a nice and quick meal.

Hi Monique! Honestly we never have leftovers when I make these so I’ve never tested storing them! But this is what I’d do if making ahead of time: fill and roll then place in an oven-safe pan. I’d probably put some extra sauce on top so they don’t get dried out, cover with foil and store in fridge. Warm them in the oven (350F) before serving…maybe 10-15 mins. The cheese is not meant to be gooey, melty so you just need to take the chill off.

Hi Jeff, this is the traditional method of making enchiladas, dipping the tortilla in very warm sauce. If you put meat in them, you can top them with cheese and onions and warm them in the oven to melt the cheese. Delicious!
